Send an email in advance of your stay letting them know it’s your honeymoon and you’d appreciate anything they can do to make it special for your wife. Leave out anything that makes you sound entitled.

Did this for my honeymoon long ago, platinum with SPG at the time, and got upgraded to a two level suite that was one of five on the property.

Sorry! I actually thought about that after I posted but was too late to edit. I wrote it more so how I asked for myself versus assuming only males can ask for honeymoon upgrades. 😊

Did you put in SNAs?

Check out Renaissance as well. Their private island is nice.

Ritz upgrades are only for Titanium and higher. Call them and ask them the cost for an upgrade. You can usually negotiate the price too.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city.

A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
